For several days S. W. Kirk, F.sj.,
bus been referred to by the married
ladies of West Water street in their
husbands' presence, as the model litis
band of the village. Attorney Kirk
has just commenced housekeeping and
like all new beginners is very cnthusi
iistio. In his present frame of mind
ho would much prefer putting up' an
obstinate tove-pipe to ucccpting a lib
cral fee; sinking nnd tacking down
carpet is Midi an apparent luxury as
would make him forego a baii(uet,
and the other Innumerable things that
the common herd of husbands (.'fowl
at- and speak of in unpretty terms are
looked upon by hint as mere airy tri
(les tlm doing of which only adds to
his felicity. We hope this will keep
going on and on have the gift of continuance-
hut we fear it will be like
the measles, chicken-pox and similar
outbreaks that one catches but once
in a lifetime. Seriously, we trust there
will always be a cricket singing on
his hearth.

We regret to learn that Jacob S.

un accident shortly after his return

him to bed for three weeks. I To was
engaged at the time in "cupping"' a
telegraph pole when his uxo glanced,
indicting a cut a couple inches in
length and considerable depth on his
right leg near the knee. He is able to
be about nguin, and while it caused
him considerable pain and Inconveni

the fact that it was not as serious us
it might have been.

riving on Friday evening and leav
ing for Lawrence county Wednes
day morning.
Thursday of last week will long
bo remembered by a host of peo
ple as one of tho most pleasant
days of their lives. As morning
ditwued it was not with the bright
est prospect of a nice day. The
sun wore a dark cloudy veil, the
heavens seemed to have gone in
mourning, and four was entertain
ed by many that it would shed
tears in the form of rain-drops
before tho day had fulfilled its
mission and gone to rest behind
the mountains of eternity. Nev
ertheless, before nine o'clock peo
ple were seen wending their wtty
to the mansion of James G. Ken
dall, one of Pig Cove's most pros
perous farmers, to witness tho
marriage of one of his daughters.
In half an hour the roads that led
(apparently) from the fourcoruers
of the earth, were lined with car
riages and buggies all bound for
tho samo placo. Tho guests all
received a hearty welcome.
Py ):").") all had assembled in the
large parlors. Tho rooms were
beautifully decorated with vines
and golden tinted forest leaves.
Tho window shutters were closed
nnd tho lights turned on. Tho
relatives of the groom elect stood
on one side of the room while the
relatives of tho other party in the
contract occupied tho opposite
side. At tho appointed hour, ten
o'clock, "quietness reigned su
promo" as slow, solemn steps
were heard coming from the hall.
Messrs. James 11. Kendall and
Thomas McDowell, followed by
Misses Mary II. Kendall and Mary
McDowell, entered the room and
took their places with tho friends;
then came the lady who was yet
Miss Laura Logan Kendall, lean
ing on the arm of her alliance,
William Peutly McDowell. She
was attired in a beautiful gown of
white organdie, trimmed in nar
row ru flies edged with satin rib
bon, and she carried a largo bo
rpuet of roses. She was quite
composed and fhe looked very
sweet and lovely. Mr. McDowell
wore the conventional black. His
countenance betrayed tho su
preme happiness of his heart.
They stood under a handsomely
decorated bell which was suspend
ed from, tho ceiling. A voice was
now heard breaking the spell of
profound silence, it was the voice
of Rev. J. G. Rose, (Presbyteriau)
of Mercersburg, imploring divine
guidance and blessiugou the hap
py young couple, Kev. S. P.
Houstou,(Associato Presbyterian)
of tho Cove, spoko with groat ear
nestness to tho couplo that was
before him; and when ho present
ed the marriage vows, they were
accepted by , both with clear,
strong voices that were distinctly
heard by tho whole avtdieuce, say
ing, ' I do," Our thoughts wore
again led heavenward by Kev. J.
Grove, (United Presbyteriau) of
McCoiinellsburg, who closed the
ceremony with prayer. At its
close a great "Amen" from the
Father above seemed to have fall
en upon tho happy pair. Kev.
Houston now stepping to the side
of the groom, introduced to the
audience Mr. and Mrs. McDowell,
whom God had just made man
and wife. Everybody stood in
excited a wo throughout the en
tire ceremony, which was very
! beautiful.
After the congratulations were
offered the guests were ushered
I out to the dining room and seat
ed at a bountifully spread table,
,. i, ......

served -the Kind that our hostess,
Mrs. J. G. Kendall, knows how to
prepare for a hundred and twen
ty guests. This included quite a
number of friends from Franklin
county and Philadelphia. When
the bridai party had partaken of
the dinner, tho bride next appear
ed in a brown traveling suit as
they passed out to tho carriage
in waiting, amid showers of rice
and shouts of laughter. For
some time the sun had boon try
ing to peep through its veil, but
now the clouds were dispelled and
the sun was shiningin all its glory
on thein as they sprang into the
surrey and drove away.
Morrow Kendall and Miss Nell
Johuston escorted them to Fort
Loudon where they boarded the
fl o'clock train for llarri.sburg.
They will go to Washington, I).
C, thence to Philadelphia to visit
the groom's sister, Mrs. Slayma
ker.iiud other friends, and return
by tho 2-1 tli for tho reception giv
en by his mother.
Tho bride's trousseau was both
elegant and elaborate.
Their presents were beautiful
and useful as well as very numer
ous. They c:a mo from different
parts of.Pennsylvania, New York,
Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and
Kansas.
It is to bo hoped that as they
make their voyage on the ocean
of life, they may pass over its bil
lows of troubie as easily as they
journeyed across tho mountain.

Scalp ami Hair Torn From the
II cud of a Little Girl.
Last Saturday afternoon Clara,
the l()-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. George. Hixson, of Ein
maville, this county, was the
victim of a most horrible and
heart-rending accident.
Mr. Hixson owns and operates
a steam grist mill at Emmaville.
An iron shaft about two inches in
dia motor and several feet long
connects the engine with the mill
pro tor. Tlijs shaft, crossing tho
pathway leading to and from the
mill, it wits customary for Mr.
Hixson and tho children to pass
under it. As Clara was passing
under tho shaft her hair, which
was plaited, by some moans
caught and wrapped around the
shaft, which was running at tho
rate of seven hundred revolutions
a minute. Almost instantly the
child was hurled around in the
air and thrown several feet away.
Sho jumped up and, running
around the mill screaming, at
tracted thoattentiou of her lather,
who was standing at the door in
the second story , of tho mill.
When his eyes beheld the ghast
ly spectacle, without a moment's
hesitation ho jumped to the
ground and clasped his little
daughter in his arms and carried
her into tho house, when ho dis
covered that tho entire scalp was
torn from her head, one ear sev
ered and tho skin of the larger
part of tho face and nose terribly
lascerated.
While little hope is entertained
for tho recovery of tho child, still,
wo are informed, sho remains
perfectly conscious, and o'nduros
tho pain and suffering w ith tho
patience of ono more advanced in
years. Universal sympathy goes
out to tho littlo ono and to the
griof-Ktrickou parents.
It Is with feelings of deepest sorrow
that we received tho death of Mrs.
Mary Pittman liege, wliUh occurred
ut her home near lackey's Station,
Franklin county, Pa., on Friday even
gin, October LI. The deceased was the
daughter of Joseph Pittman of Timber
Itidge, Pultun county, and Ihe wife of
the lute John Ilegu of Ayr touimhip.
Her age was seventy-four years and
right months and she is survived by
one sister, Mrs. Cieorgu Morton, of
1 iclfusl township.
Mrs. I lege was the mother of nine
children, six of whom survive her,
l!ev. Jacob ltasore, of Iowa; Mrs.
John Myers, of Little Cove, and Miss
Lottie liasore, at home childr.in of a
former husband, Mr. Daniel Husore,
ami .Mrs. Tobias C Inzer, of Webster
Mills, and Joseph und Harmon liege
of Franklin county children of u later
marriage with Mr. John liege.
Mrs. liege was in her usual health
until the Sunday preceding her death,
which occurred from hernia from
which she had sulTcrcd for many years.
She was buried in the I'nion Ceme
tery on Sabbath afternoon. Klder C.
L. Funk olllciuting.
l'ntil within a few years, the home
of Mrs. liege, or "Aunt Mollie" as
she was affectionately, culled, was in
the "Corner," although few women
were more extensively and favorably
known throughout the county.
She was a life-long member of the
liaptist church und by close study, at
tained a wonderful knowledge of the
Hible.
To her husband she was a faithful
wife und wise counselor to her chil
dren a loving und self-sacrillcing
mother-pruet icing the severest self
denial for their educational advance
ment. As u neighbor, she gave of
herself most ungrudgingly, never un
heeding tho cull day or night, to com
fort the sick, or relieve the sutTering
oft hues .tiiking the place of a physician
until he could arrive. .
Her feet run on willing errands, and
her hands did cheerful service in hum
blest places, through love to Christ
und his helpless poor cheerful und
witty in conversation -a good talker
and possessing a remarkable memory.
She hud a good fund of Information,
and could recall with precision the lo
cul happenings of almost three-quarters
of a century.
We extend to her children our ten
derest sympathy in this great loss of
their mother, who was, in truth, one
of nuture's noble women, for scurcely
do we thul in one person so many uil
miruble truits of character so harmo
niously combined.
